A Toilet Luxury

In every respect, Ayers Hair Vigor
never fails to restore the youthful fresh.
ness and color to faded and gray hair.
1t also prevents the hair from falling,
eradicates dandruff, and stimulates
weak hair to o vigorous growth.
Five years ago, my hair, which was
quite gray, commenced falling, and, In
spite Of cutting, and various prepare
tions faithfully applied, became thinner
every day, l was finally persusdsd 70
try Ayers Hair Vigor. Two bottles OF
this remedy not only stopped the hair
from falling, but also restored its orig
inal color, and stimulated new growth.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1887-11-12

The elections last Tuesday resulted
ia a democratic victory in New York
aud Virginia, with gains in PennsyI.
vania and Iowa. Of course the re-
puhlicans carried Ohio. Election.
we're held in other states, but the re.
suit was not of much general in nterest.
Taken altogether, the republicans are
very gloomy over the prospects for
next year, and the democrats are COR
respondingly elated. 1t is conceded
that Blaine is not the man to put up
against CLEVELAND, and it is thought
that John Sherman is the coming man
to be defeated by the democrats.

A New Factory.

Mr.. Ackerman, of Indiana, who has
been here several days prospecting,
has concluded that Milan is the best
point he knows of for the erection of
factory to make ax-handles, and all
other kinds of handles, and he has
leased the Driggers lot, on the L. &
N. road, near the compress, where he
will erect buildings and put in his
machinery as soon as he can get it
here. de appears to be a live, ener.
getic man, and will give employment
to quite a number Of workmen in bis,
shops and in the woods. There are
thousands of hickory trees within a
few miles of Milan, and he will 90 to
work especially on them. By this
means he will distribute much money
among our people and do great deal
to develop our resources. We well
come him and his enterprise to our
town, and hope he may be pleased
and prosperous. We have room for
moro people of his kind here, and will
gladly welcome them.

Last Tuesday morning the body of
Armstead Campbell, an old colOred
man was found about three and one
half miles southeast of this city, in a

he had evidently committed suicide,
as his boots were found close by and
there were no evidence of a struggle.
He had been missing two or three
days and was being searched for when

SMALL CHANGE.

A oIlbhV loih lOiA hNiN A''S' w
day night.
Mr.. A. Mcdonald, is building a
brick addition to his paint shop on
Main street.
Mr.. Jack Skies is building a hands
some brick residence in the eastern
part of the city.
Madame Rumor says that there
will be tive weddings in this city be-
fore many days.
Milan cotton buyers have been pay.
ing good prices for cotton this week,
and, as. a consequence, a large guam
tity has been brought liz.
Our city authorities had the Main
street brick walk repaired lately, be-
sides repairing and making new cross
ings on several other streets.
The building and loan association
premises to be a grand success.
Many shares have been subscribed for,
and biddings for money will be lively.
We have heard it said by great
many people that the roads leading
into Milan are in a better Cundition,
for this season of the year, than was
ever known before.
We understand that a number of
our sportive inclined people will leave
soon for the swamps and wilds of Ar
kansas to spend several weeks hunt
ing deer and turkey.
Mr.. Will Harais last Monday res
signed the Office of deputy sheriff,
and Mr.. w. o. Chapman was ap,
pointed in his place. His friends
think that Ollie will make 6rst-class
deputy, and we are among his friends.
Referring to the ad.. Of the Nation
al Fertilizer Co., to which the atten~
ton of farmers is again called this
week, we specially recommend that
they write for copy Of the Farmers
| Gnide. which will be sent TO all ap-
plicants free.
Wallace Lusk has opened up
brand new saloon in the new brick on
the corner of Main and Williamson
streets, and invites everybody to 60
there for the finest liquors in town.
He has furnished the house elegantly,
and has one Of the neatest places of
the kind in town. If all his liquors
are as fine as the hottie of champagne
sent us, they must be extra.
We learn that some of the mem.
hers of the different churches here
never pay a cent toward the support
of their preachers, and that the offs
cials contemplate preferring charges
against them, so that they may be ex>
pclled. This would certainly be
proper. When a person joins a
church, and is able to pay, he should
be required to do so, or turned out.
AS Sam Jones says, they are not
"6tten" to belong to the church.
Bro. Graham, pastor of the Meth
odist church, will preach his farewell
sermon to omorrOw morning and eve
ming, and he wishes every member o
the church to be present. On ac'
count of the lOng-protrOcted illness Of
himself aud the loss of his wife BY
death during this year, he has been
unable to do himself or his work jus
tice. He has really not been able fol
duty many weeks since he came here
but he has preached faithfully, some
times when he ought to have been il
bed. His pastoral work has had a
much attention as he could give it
and he has made many warm friend
here. He is an educated, conscien
tious, hard working christian minister
. and we trust his health will soon per
NIT him to do full work in his calling
Wherever he may be sent by the con
ference, the prayers and good vishe
of our people will follow him.

To Escape yervolsaess.

The first prescription is an ample supply of pure, fresh, cool air. The nerves will always be weak Ii the greater part of the day and night be passed in close, ill-veu.iiated, and overloaded apartments. The nerves, more than the rest of the body, to be properly noG-ished, require 2 full supply of oxygen. They will not endure vitiated air, whether :he iin- pUrities come from sewer, gasliglt; sIbterranean furnaces or the in,:i- V:duaPS own person, without making an energetic protest. A gas burner consuming four cubic feet an hour produccs more carbonic acid in given time than is evolved from the respiration of eight hgman beings. Bear this in mind. you who suffer fscm nervousness, that when you have shut yourselves up in your rooms ard lighted an srgand burner (xi.:ch consumes about twelve feet of gas per hour you are to ali lnten,s and pNrroses iInmused with twenty three otter rersons, all taking oxygen from tue atmosphere.
